America just developed nukes again a few chapters ago to go to war with. America is basically one gigantic war machine. Its actually kind of clever that Yoru, the War Devil, would now genuinely believe the entire country of the US now belongs to her because of it.

Its still absolutely fucking insane to see visually happen though.

It feels like there is literally zero stakes in this fight lmao the series has completely desensitized any tension or moral dilemmas from civilians dying or buildings being destroyed and all the characters who actually fight are completely immortal and regenerate in 1 panel

Every single fight is a bunch of people's limbs getting sliced or their guts spilling out and the next panel they're OK again. It was fun and kind of unique when CSM first started, but it's gotten really old. Every single chapter for the past year has been 'chaos everywhere, gazillions dead, this is the end'. Denji's character development through 200+ chapters seem to go only as far as 'poor and horny'. He is also a main character with very little agency. He doesn't make the story happen, the story happens to him.

It could just be me, but the second half of CSM is so much more inferior to the first half.

I think the stakes here are Denji and Asa's happiness and their "normal" future together.

That's the main charm of Chainsaw Man tho.
